EU ENVIRONMENT COMMISSION COMING TO NEAPLES



The EU Environment Commission will be in Neaples on 15 February.

Independently from the results of the emergency plan started by the Italian local government, Brussels wants to carry on the infraction procedure against Italy for disrespecting the directives on rubbish disposal.

The procedure will follow three steps and after the first warnings the EU will send the Italian government an official evaluation of the status of the crisis.

From then on Italy will have two months to comply with EU directives.

If the results still are not satisfactory, Italy will be condamned to paying a fine ranging from 9920€ to 714000€ for each day of infraction.

The worst is that the procedure is expected to finish not sooner than 2010.
